So I moved to Montreal 4 months ago for graphic design work, or any work in the creative art industry... and so far all i have been able to get is freelance jobs.... that dont pay so well.. now i am experienced, and have the qualifications, and educational background, and skilled what could i be lacking? uhuuu french maybe!???

living in montreal and not knowing a word of french i know im at a disadvantage to get an "ANY" job. but why is it sooo hard to get a creative arts job in montreal. Do you have to be bilingual to work as a designer in this city?

From my personal experience, i dont think that the people in montreal do such a good job at welcoming outsider. i have had people be rude to me and mock me because i wasnt able to reply back in french. why are the people in montreal so harsh towards people who cant speak french! its doesnt really motivate them to learn the language.

Even for interviews? http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=74685 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 11:50:34 GMT Hi, I'm from Montreal, Quebec. I have so-so okay French. I just blew a job interview the other day because of my not so good French. I couldn't think of the right word to say for certain answers to questions. It then got me thinking.

Can I sent in my CV/application form in English instead? There's English speakers in QC too, so maybe it could work out? Then maybe the interview can be dong in English also...?

The Montreal Beer Festival

By Dave Preston

For five years now, the Mondiale de la Bière in Montreal, Quebec, has proclaimed its mission: "To restore beer to its rightful and noble place, by offering the general public the opportunity to taste beer from five continents, while encouraging responsible consumption." It maybe too early to cry "Mission Accomplished," but this ten-day festival, billed as "The largest international beer festival in North America," has certainly made a fine mark on the Canadian beer scene.

Now attracting over 50,000 people to its outdoor island setting in the old port of Montreal on the St. Lawrence River, the festival is a major event but has yet to gain much recognition beyond Quebec, even though most of the 270 or so beers on offer hail from out of province.

just wondering what kind of music you all listen to and if you're into any musicians/bands that are originally from Quebec? I'm asking because I saw this group's Toronto showcase about a month ago and found out that they are originally from Montreal. They were amazing! They're called The Blue Seeds and their music was just so great. Very mellow and nice to relax too. I actually bought their CD at the show! Aynways yeah, I was just wondering who's heard of them or listens to them since they're from Montreal!? ]]> Québec Indiechick http://forums.canadiancontent.net/showthread.php?t=73870
